Elon is wrong a lot and sometimes it’s because he’s ignorant and sometimes it’s because he’s lying and sometimes it’s because he would rather turn his ignorance into an attack than admit he’s wrong. Sort of like Trump. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202... - ThreadSky

Almost always because he's lying.

And always it’s to achieve his overall goal

Just like Trump
Too much and never enough as Mary said.

And mostly bc he never bothers to check. Makes you feel great about him getting involved with every touchpoint we have with our government huh.

He’s spent his life with sycophants who want something from him and now he believes he’s brilliant and all knowledgeable - and he’s too stupid to know they have flattered and lied to him.

Exactly like trump….,

The money saving is merely a pretext to destroy the institutions Trump hates. He doesn't give two shits about cutting government waste. He wants to kneecap government and is using budget cuts to do it. Period.

Musk is a useful idiot for Trump, who is himself a useful idiot for Putin. That's it. That's the whole Trump presidency in a nutshell.

For goodness sake just say it
He's a nutter!

I still have my fingers crossed for a Faulknerian ending that neither of them will even understand.

Are you telling us, Phil, that you’re just now noticing that Mush is a pathological liar psychopath w/narcissistic tendencies? Like his orange minion?

Because observant, thinking people have had this figured out for sometime and sounding the alarm.

Are you gullible? Complicit? Or both?

Trump and GOP have bought into Musk’s assurances that the job cutting and impounding will amount to only “temporary pain”, but when a recession hits that won’t go away, how will Musk wriggle out of that?

He is easy to hate

Is it just me or does he really really look like a Nazi?

The techno-nazi Elon Musk is a helluva a lot more dangerous than an increasingly senile Donald J Trump. Musk's dystopian neo-feudal vision for a human future controlled by his technology is a horror story.

Tiny, tiny, fragile men. The both of them.

He’s a liar who uses both lies and reckless disregard of facts to his advantage, just like the Gropenf☭hrer.

plannedtheride.bsky.social•2 days ago

Just the other day, he said somethings that he says might not be true. Setting the rube's expectations to 'low' and expecting the non-rubes to accept it.

musk is an idiot

heymickylo.bsky.social•2 days ago

And, sometimes it seems like he’s got a substance abuse problem, which isn’t an excuse, but still…

Co-presidents Dunning and Kruger.

"merit skepticism" is such a weasel phrase that if someday weasel were endangered and only two breeding pairs left, that phrase could reinvigorate the entire species and indeed lead to weasel overpopulation. Do better, please.
